I feel it is important to clarify something here. The Windows SDK is
still supported by Microsoft. The Binary SDK for PHP by Microsoft
which is the SDK that manages dependencies and provides cross MSVC
environment build scripts is no longer supported.
You can still build PHP on Windows without the Binary SDK but you will
have to manage the build depedencies in all their flavors manually
without this Binary SDK for PHP.
